The creation of the committee is an effort to bring to a single table people and groups that would like to actively engage in community beautification projects. It is hoped that this cooperative venture will net greater impact and a better quality of life in the community. The goal is, through the committee’s efforts and through awareness, Runnells will benefit in terms of economic development and recruitment, as well as a sense of pride in a clean and beautiful community.
